2- Department of Chemistry
A) Background

History:
The department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at the University of Tabuk, has
established on the academic year 2008 2009; three years later after the
establishment of the faculty.

B) Department Vision, Mission, and Objectives


Vision:
The Chemistry Department is dedicated to producing knowledgeable graduates for
careers in academia, industry and government, conducting significant research in
chemistry, promoting a diverse population of faculty, staff and students, and promoting
the collegial exchange of ideas, independent thought, and the highest ethical standards.

Mission:
The mission of the Chemistry Department is to provide a curriculum and
environment that enables students to achieve a level of knowledge of chemistry
with local and regional standards. We provide students with the scientific
knowledge and experimental skills necessary for a career in chemistry or related
fields.

Objectives:
The Department aims to provide excellent teaching and dynamically updated
programs in Chemistry, promote vigorous research, support the professional and
psychosocial, development of the faculty and co-academic personnel, adhere to
ethical standards of scholarship and professionalism.

C) Department Study Plan Objectives


Brief note on the study plan:
The courses are divided through eight semesters (including two for the
preparatory year). The courses are classified into two categories - compulsory,
and restricted-elective (from the department courses).

D) Requirements of Degree
The department of Chemistry at the University of Tabuk awards the Bachelor of
Science (B.Sc.) degree according to the credit hours system (total 132 Credit
Hours). In order to award the B.Sc., the GPA of the student should not be less
than 2 (fair).
